Before You WASTE Your Life Away, WATCH THIS! | Jay Shetty

Confidence

Jay Shetty emphasizes that true confidence stems from recognizing and utilizing one's strengths to serve others. He argues that witnessing the positive impact of our actions on others significantly boosts self-esteem and a sense of self-worth 1. Lewis Howes reflects on his own journey, noting how shifting from a transactional mindset to one focused on service has been profoundly rewarding. He recalls a quote from the Bhagavad Gita shared by Jay:

Plant trees under whose shade you do not plan to sit.

--- Jay Shetty

This shift in perspective, according to Lewis, has transformed his approach to business and relationships 2.

   

Compassion

Practicing compassion, according to Jay, is about intention rather than results. He explains that genuine compassion involves helping others without expecting anything in return, and that doing so begrudgingly is not true compassion 3. Lewis inquires about balancing the need for support with the desire to give selflessly. Jay advises that it's crucial to protect oneself and be honest about one's capacity to help, suggesting that sometimes it's better to find someone else who can assist if you're not in the right state of mind 4. He uses the analogy of a lifeguard to illustrate this point:

If you're not fit to save someone drowning, it's better to call a real lifeguard.
